Hah, hah, LJ, I'm so not amused by the lj_serialadder lunacy. If your answer to a situation is to mock it, then it explains why it's still such a problem.
On days like this, Google's
Moonbased offices sounded really good. I left the apartment half an hour late and the Metro was backed up due to mechanical problems with trains.
CVS meeting tonight featured guest speakers from the APA, American Psychological Association, touting and explaining their style manual. The APA style is also apparently heavily used in other social sciences, aside from psychology. The group had an interesting discussion of the different ones from Chicago, MLA and even the dreaded AP style. I even have my old AP stylebook from when I was a journalism student. The Soviet Union is probably still intact according to that copy.
I figure I'm doing well to know a Fed 3rd from a USCA. US Code Annotated is the insanely large set which was a large chunk of my morning workload. The publishers had expanded three of the Constitution volumes into
eleven. (At LC, this would have been magnified, since they received 8 or 9 copies on purchase.)
To my shame, I did no work on my newest story idea so I had to fork over my promised money. (We're having a new thing where we can volunteer to pay a certain amount of money, usually a few dollars, if we don't make our goals, with the money going towards some literacy charity.) I'm thinking of melding it with another idea I had years ago, when learning about Irish dancing, if I can find my old notes.
Still not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. If the weather is good, maybe go downtown for the Cherry Blossom festival, although that is something of a rarity. At the meeting, we also received a free pass to see
Ella Enchanted, but it's Saturday morning way up on Wisconsin Ave, so we'll see.
